An easy win against Brock probably would've gone something like this... (Note, this is not meant to offend anybody, it's just me making fun of myself) Taron entered the gym, walked confidently up to Brock, the local gym master and told him to suck it. Brock gave him the finger. Taron ran up to him and grabbed his collar. "Hey, you son of a bitch, you better show some respect. Don't be givin' me no finger!" Brock gasped for air. "I...though...you were...blind." Taron looked surprised. "Oh yeah, I am uh, uh who said that? It's so dark. Look at me I'm blind heh heh." Brock sweatdropped. "Uh right. Ahem, we'll each use one pokemon. Go Vulpix." A red fox with too many tails appeared. Taron burst out laughing. "BWAH HAH HAH. Look at that thing! It's got waaay too many tails. It's a freak! BWAH HAH HAH HAH." While still laughing he took a pokeball off of his belt. He sent out his caterpie. "Caterpie, use a String Shot!" A string of sticky white film shot out of the caterpie's mouth and wrapped around the Vulpix's throat after a few minutes, it choked to death a fell over. Taron snatched a Boulder Badge away from Brock, who was crying over his dead Vulpix. Then Mewtwo showed up after Taron left and destroyed the gym for no apparent reason. TBc? I doubt it. ^_^
